Series
The Troy Trilogy is an epic retelling of the Trojan story that combines heroic fantasy, myth and large-scale adventure. Gemmell replaces distant legend with a crowded world of seafarers, traders, kings, raiders and rival families, while retaining the prophecies, passions and larger-than-life figures associated with Troy.
Across Lord of the Silver Bow, Shield of Thunder and Fall of Kings, private loyalties become inseparable from a widening war. Helikaon, Andromache, Hector, Odysseus and their allies confront ambition, betrayal and siege, with the final volume completed by Stella Gemmell after David Gemmell's death.
